Hello all. Just wondering if anyone can help me with hatching files as they come in. I'm looking to automatically unzip the nodelists and copy them to
my nodelist directory then run the mutil to compile them. Also I have a
daily weather that I would like to unzip to my http directory so I can view
the images in my browser.

Thanks

In the case of Mystic, it will do all of that for you. The typical flow
of how this works is:

When you receive a new nodelist it will be put into its appropriate file base by processing the TIC file. You would configure MUTIL's nodelist compiler to look at those directories for each nodelist you want to include, and thats it.

The next time you run MUTIL it will look in all of the configured places for nodelists, figure out which nodelists are the most recent, and then it will unzip them and create a master nodelist that Mystic will use.

That makes sense. Wasn't sure if it would automagically unzip the files.
When playing with the setup I had already unzipped them in to that directory.

What about hatching other files? I would like to unzip the daily weather and have it put in to my www directory so I can view satellite maps and such when they come in.

Thanks for the help.

Yep it will unzip or unrar or unlha etc depending on the format. You don't have to do any steps yourself! :)

Unfortunately, you'd have to make something to do this on your own in your script that runs things or create an event to check once a day and put it in the proper place. Does the daily weather have the same filename each day?
